Not calling the season, simply stated that it was as disheartening of an opening performance as I can recall. Having had time to digest it, that take wasn't hyperbole or being a prisoner of the moment, it really was that bad.

It will be up to the players to pick themselves up and rise to the occasion and the coaching staff to make the necessary personnel adjustments to mitigate the issues. The ball is in their collective court as to whether this will be simply an early season blip on the radar or a foreshadowing of things to come.
Wait till this Friday night if you thought last Friday was bad sir.

Surry Central @ East Wilkes

I dont think surry central is that great of a team I think it had more to us being that bad. Worse I've seen us in a long time... Its going to be a long season. We might beat elkin, north stokes, or south stokes...but then again that's basically all we won last year with much older imo better talent...usually a typical year for us these days unfortunately. 2014 seems like a distant memory almost... Loved that season
Eagles skill players are very good. Up front is there question mark!

Cleveland County

Shelby has lots to clean up , Penalties and turnovers.
The OLine was big concern start of year but cpaches have done wonders in 2 weeks time. ( janbo/ 1st game).
We yet have played a complete game.
Still have few concerns with backend of defense, front 7 can play.

We still have 3 hard games just hoping no injurys,
Your numbers on D didn't look bad last week. Seemed like KM struggled on both passing and rushing. I understand the complete game part of it though but you have only had one 4 quarter game. I understand your point though. We got off to a slow start last week as well. Rough first quarter with a few mental mistakes but we got it going after that. We cannot afford a rough first quarter this week.

Greater Metro conference

I still refuse to believe last week wasn’t just one of those flash in the pan kinda week.

Now if we back up what we did last week, with an equally efficient week… then maybe we’re cooking. But I’m still in that I wanna see it again to believe it.

What stood out about last week was the aggressiveness in the play calling. We were looking for the jugular every single time the offense was on the field, been a while since I’ve seen that. The question is, do we have that same mentality this week.

I imagine this week will be tougher. I went back and watched the Reagan vs Marvin Ridge game. Reagan’s defense was very much a bend but don’t break defense. The big plays down field might be fewer and far between this week. I expect they’ll make us try to be more methodical.
The thing is… even if you play half as good the rest of the season y’all still win the conference. Yall are head and shoulders aBove

You moving the goalpost again. NC Team have played TV games all the time. Also State championships also televised. The NC Rule is for live games during live played games. Keep up. They dont want competing live games while HS are playing on FRiday nights. People actually going to the games matter.
The big cities in NC need to do a Thursday game on TV. Knoxville area does a Rivalry Thursday game. I usually watch them. September 12th will be a really really good game. Greeneville plays Alcoa. Save this link so you can watch

That is Murphy alum Tyrea Allen, he's a good young coach and an even better person. I'm not sure what the immediate future holds for Coach Allen and Rosman but I'll say this much confidently: when Tyrea's son gets to high school in 5 years I'd bet money that he'll be a true star, the kid is an amazing athlete. If that's at Rosman High then Tiger fans will have something to be excited about in a few years if they can build anything around him.
Maybe Tyrea will come back to Murphy and get the Head Coach job

How did Payne do for Murphy Friday? I still think he needs to be in the backfield
Looked good when he got the ball (long TD reception on Murphy's first drive) but couldn't the ball in his hands nearly enough. I agree wingback would be his best spot to maximize his touches in Murphy's offense but that's not going to happen.

Truthfully it wouldn't have mattered who was in the backfield for Murphy last week though, the o-line couldn't block anybody.

North Surry v South Stokes

As long as we show up mentally and play hard like we have all year so far it'll be a fun night down at Sauratown for us. It'll be a good test to show how mentally along we are. We gotta stay sharp but I'm excited for it.

I think South's future has potential to be fun. Their new HC is a good fellow and I've always liked him. He's a complete 180 from the previous dude. If he can get the culture he wants they will be productive in a few years especially if they get a friendly conference where they can compete. Their RB is only a sophomore and has a ton of potential. He'll have to step up to contend in the northwest but with Elkin being so rough and Alleghany in a transition period South could surprise people if the new QB gets going and the RB stays healthy.

Surry Central @ East Wilkes

It'll come down to the defenses for sure here. Both weren't tested at all week one but the offenses were the show.

Last year's game could have went either way, East played with more heart and made the most of it. SC imo was more talented on offense but lacked the D to pull it out. East had #'s issue but their heart won it for them.

This year it'll be the same. I think East's win was way more impressive last week, they ran all over West and that's not a good sign for West. SC meanwhile faced a young and out of wack Alleghany squad.

We will see the true teams for both this week. A great underrated series this is.

ECC Week 2

Clinton at WRH
WRH big. This is going purely off last week. Im sure NSJ is much improved, but man that was ugly.
Dogs 42-7

ED at WC
West Craven took down Pamlico 50-20 last week. This is a game I think the panthers get the job done in, and I could see it being high scoring.
ED 38-14

JK at Midway
JK looked good against swansboro last week from all accounts that I have heard, and I actually still think they will make some noise in this conference. However, I really believe midway is going to give them trouble this week. New coach for Midway has that program in a great spot I think. I see JK having real trouble scoring. Give me the raiders
Midway 21-6

Southwest at Richland's
Richlands with a pretty impressive win over South Brunswick last week. SWO with a respectful showing losing by a couple Tds to Jville.
I still think SWO wins the game but it may be closer than stallion fans want it to be.
SWO 28-17

Kinston at Greene Central
I am going to overreact to GC one putting up 25 on NL and I am going to chalk Kinston's blowout loss to SC up as a fluke. Ill take Kinston with a game winning drive.
Kinston 34-33

FC at NL
FC wins comfortably, even though I do think NL could be better than previous years.
FC 41-6

SL at Dixon
Dixon, 35-6
Wallace by a bunch.
ED in a close one.

You might be. Shelby has an identity crisis. They are absolutely ruthless............. but still got some things to work on. They might run the table on the whole state............... but then again they have some things to clean up. KM was lucky they didn't have 34 yards rushing as a team instead of 35........... but had they cleaned some things up it's a no brainer. Jekyll and Hide over there. 😂 You guys beat KM without your offense taking the field in the playoff game so hey what do I know??
